To determine if 5322 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5322.
If the factors of 5322 are only 5322 and 1, then we know that 5322 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5322 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5322 is only divisible by 1 and 5322, then it is a prime number, and if 5322 is divisible by more than 5322 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5322 are as follows:
1, 2, 3, 6, 887, 1774, 2661, 5322
Therefore, since 5322 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5322 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
